What is the history of winemaking in Canada?

Winemaking in Canada was based on the colonization of the North American continent by European settlers in the 17th century, who established vineyards and crafted wines for religious purpose and ones for family drink. But the real turning point didn’t happen until the late 20th century. Back then, the Canadian wine-making industry witnessed a rebirth based on improved viticulture, technological improvements, and the creation of new wine regions.
